Breath alcohol analysis.
I f e e l some diffidence in talking to this assembly because I have only been in this field for two years, whereas there are a number of people here who have had many years of experience and knowledge of the subject. The only excuse I can put forward is that I have had the great benefit of their experience as recorded in the literature, and some benefit from being able to bring a fresh eye to ...
متن کاملBreath Alcohol Concentration and Breath Temperature
Breath alcohol concentration, breath temperature, and body temperature are used to extrapolate the breath alcohol concentration to the concentration of alcohol in the deep lung air, which is in equilibrium with the pulmonary blood. Introduction The variability that is seen in the breath alcohol test (note: “alcohol” means ethyl alcohol) has always been more or less ignored as inevitable “biolog...
متن کاملHigh Performance Breath Alcohol Analysis
Alcohol breath testing on a larger scale will save lives. Alcohol intake affects the human body by significantly longer response time to external stimuli. In demanding situations where the senses need to be on alert a prolonged reaction time can be the difference between life and death, both for the intoxicated subject and for surrounding individuals. The aims of this thesis include investigat...
متن کاملMedicolegal Alcohol Determination - Blood- or Breath-Alcohol Concentration?
Measuring the concentration of alcohol in body fluids represents a large part of the workload at forensic science and toxicology laboratories. In traffic-law enforcement, breath-alcohol testing is used worldwide for roadside screening and for evidential purposes. Many jurisdictions have adopted per se laws which make it a crime to drive with a blood- or breath-alcohol concentration above a pres...
متن کاملMedicolegal alcohol determination: variability of the blood- to breath-alcohol ratio and its effect on reported breath-alcohol concentrations.
There is substantial agreement among scientists that the variability of a person's blood- to breath-alcohol ratio contributes significantly to the experimental error in results from breath-alcohol analysis. Some have argued that the need to correct for this source of error can be eliminated by reporting breath test results in units of breath-alcohol concentration rather than blood-alcohol conce...
